Research

We develop, monitor, and improve infrastructure, buildings, transportation routes, the power supply, and everyday activities in crowded, urban environments. 

We study the physical aspects of sensing, generating, collecting, storing, transporting, and processing large data sets. 

We work to improve the health of individuals and the health care system through data-driven methods and understanding of health processes. 

We conduct core research on problems that cut across the data sciences and engineering.

We develop analytical and computational tools to manage risk and to support decisions using the growing volume and variety of data available. 


We use data generated by people and data about people to understand human behavior.

We develop the capacity to keep data secure and private throughout its lifetime. 

We explore the design, analysis, and application of massive-scale computing systems for processing data.
